Re: Pet Shop Boys - Chart History
Global Charts (according to the global charts, the most succesful hit was "Always On My Mind". It's fun because the singles " What have I done to deserve this?? " and Always on my mind were both one week in the TOP 10 global chart (which is not something easy). The #1 was George Michael with Father Figure. This song was also the US #1 when What have I done to deserve this? was US # 2 with PSB and Dusty.

In Global Charts, "Always On Mind" was charting before " What have I done to deserve this?? ". I don't know why. Maybe because there was a US release before the one in Europe according to this:

In fact, I think if this song had been released at the same time in all the countries it would have been a GLOBAL Number 1. It was 15 weeks in the top 10 and reached Number 4 many weeks being at the chart at the same time "It's a sin", " What have I done to deserve this?? " and "Heart" were taking part of the top 10 too.
In fact, "Always On My Mind" was top 10 single of the year all arround the world in 1988, NUMBER 9 and "Domino Dancing" was top 20, NUMBER 18:

And "It A Sin" was top 20 single of the year all arround the world in 1987, NUMBER 12:

What a boring obsession. One would expect that if not as standard users, at least as moderators people should be able to rise above semi-personal innuendos.

Love etc actually spent 7 weeks in the chart and sales were around 35,000. That's some going for a PSB single.
